There is one major problem with making a roast.

[kiya]

It starts smelling like dinner well before it's done.

Filling the house with tantalising juicy smells, roast overlaid with the hints of herbs. Memories of bay leaves, insinuations of thyme. . . .

I haven't even put in the potatoes to brown to golden perfection in the juices in the bottom of the pan, yet. They're cooling a little, waiting for me to cut them up and pour them into the pan around the meat.

It will torment me for probably another hour, roasting away quietly, taunting me with the richness of browning garlic and crisp onions.

Time is cruel, but it passes, and afterwards there will be dinner.

This *so* needs to be crossposted to food_porn. Honestly.

When I write stuff like that, it's often for the amusement of my friends who read food_porn, actually. I'm not on the community myself, but I know a lot of people who are. ;)

Heh. I'm making pomegranate chicken tonight, m'self. That's also one of those dishes that smells like food long before it gets to being food.

That sounds SINFUL. May I have the recipe? Pretty please?

Start there. Remove eggplant. Add lemon juice to taste. It's more of a stew-ish thing, but it's delicious. :)

"Pornographic chicken???"

Sigh.

I should have dinner, shouldn't I? :)

That would be why Kevin was in such a hurry to get off the phone!
